When you select Cartesian from the Function Type dialog, the next line contains a general form of the function in terms of Y. ![]() ![]() You can define a domain of the function by enter values for Start and End.

![]() ![]()
This feature is a wonderful way to understand exactly how the equation represents the function. In the first example, a click of the curve gives you the b handle, the y-intercept, and lets you drag the function up and down. Click and drag another place on the curve and you get the a handle to change the shape of the curve. ![]() ![]()
Notice the Variable toolbox displays the changing values as you move the handles.
